Irish Shared Hosting Compared: Entry Plans, October 2026

October 14, 2026 • 4 min read • HostBible Team

This is a side-by-side of the entry shared and WordPress plans from Blacknight, LetsHost, Hosting Ireland and HostBible. Every figure was read from the provider's own pages on 14 October 2026 and is linked to its source. We state what each page says and nothing more. Where a page is silent, we say so rather than guess, so the gaps are as useful as the numbers.

Blacknight

  • Entry shared plan (Mega): €5.99 a month monthly plus €5.99 activation fee; €5.49 a month on 1 year (€65.89); €4.99 a month on 2 or 3 years (3 years €179.70). Excludes VAT. Source.
  • Entry WordPress plan: €0.99 first month, then €14.99 a month; €12.49 a month on 3 years (€449.70). Excludes VAT. Source.
  • Control panel: the shared page describes Plesk; the WordPress page describes cPanel.
  • Migration: migration proposals on request through a form or sales@blacknight.com; the page does not state a price. It asks for full access to your existing control panel account. Source.
  • Money back: 30 days on shared and WordPress plans, as displayed on the plan pages.
  • Support: knowledge base, email, phone and live chat are listed on the plan pages. Its support page states general queries are answered within one working day. Source.

  • Entry WordPress plan: €19.99 a month or €217.99 a year, VAT status not stated.
  • Control panel: described as an easy-to-use control panel; the software is not named on the page read.
  • Migration: offered; the page says the team will advise on the process and costs, so price and whether it is free are not stated.
  • Money back: 30 days, which its terms say excludes VPS, SSL certificates, website builder and domain registrations. Cancel before the next billing date to avoid the next charge. Source.
  • Support: the shared page says phone support during business hours and email support tickets around the clock.

Hosting Ireland

  • Entry shared plan (Cloud Lite+): 95c first month on monthly, first billing period only. The regular price was not shown on the hosting page read. VAT not stated. Source.
  • Entry WordPress plan (Standard): 95c first month, then €16.95 a month or €169.45 a year. VAT not stated. Source.
  • Control panel: not stated on the pages we re-read for this guide.

  • Entry WordPress plan: see our WordPress hosting page for current prices. We did not read them for this guide.
  • Control panel: the page describes one dashboard; a panel name is not given on the page we read.
  • Migration: free with every hosting plan, covering files, databases, email and WordPress sites, built on a staging copy first.
  • Money back: 30 days on all hosting plans.
  • Support: email and live chat are listed on the site. Hours are not stated in this guide.

Reading the lists fairly

These plans are not identical. Disk, RAM, site counts and mailbox limits differ, and the first-month and long-term prices answer different questions. Our guide to introductory prices versus renewal shows how to turn them into a comparable three-year cost.

Ownership is worth knowing too. Hosting Ireland and LetsHost are trade names of the same legal entity, covered in who owns Irish web hosts.

How to choose

  • Count three years, not one month, using the method in the linked guide.
  • Check VAT status. Blacknight and HostBible state it on the pages read; LetsHost and Hosting Ireland did not for hosting prices.
  • Match support to your needs: do you need phone, or is email and chat enough? Ask for the hours in writing.
  • Ask what migration costs, and who does it.
  • Check term and cancellation rules before paying for more than a month.
  • Use the 30-day money-back window to test performance on your real site.
